Criminal appeal dismissed; joint liability prevents summing claims for appeal value threshold under Polish Code of Civil Procedure.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal because the total claim value did not meet the statutory threshold when claims against jointly liable defendants were treated separately. The defendants argued for dismissal based on the low individual amounts, but the court held that claims against parties sharing formal or material joint liability cannot be aggregated for this purpose. Consequently, since each individual claim fell below the 5,000 zloty limit, the appeal was inadmissible.
